Geocache Description:

1.You are looking for a sign, showing the co-ordinates for part 2.

2.You are looking for a small clip-lock box with room for small swaps and travel bugs.

1. You are standing in front of one of Marloes's outstanding features, the Clock Tower. If it is daylight hours, the tower should be open, where information on why and how the clock tower came to be built will be found. Please take time to have a look, as the villagers have done a splendid job in restoring and collating the information.
But......I was told, by the man who used to wind the clock, and whose father helped to build it, that when most of the villagers used to work for the Kensington Estate at St. Brides, Lady Kensington was tired of people arriving late for work, with the excuse that their clocks had stopped. So, she had the Clock Tower built, and, for good measure, closed all the pubs and brew-houses - a dire situation, not remedied until The Lobster Pot was built, in the 1960s.

Having found the co-ordinates for part 2, now go up Frankie's Lane for a walk of less than half a mile. If using a wheelchair or pushing a buggy, it would be easier, but longer, to use the lane behind the church.

2. You are standing looking at a splendid view of Gateholm, accessible at low tide, with Skokholm, the nature reserve, behind it. If you turn around, a glimpse of Dale Roads can be seen, with the refinery stacks of Milford Haven behind.
If you continue on the lane, passing Little Marloes Farm on the right, you can cross the old airfield to Dale.
PART 2 CO-ORDS OVERGROWN. TOP OF FRANKIES LANE, TURN L THEN R RIGHT SIDE OF LANE, ONE OF THE GATE POSTS. SEE HINT
The sign has gone but the support post with a lead coord sign is still there
